Hadith.5196 - Al-Naḍr narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said
I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say that the Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "In the case of accidental killing resembling intentional killing (khaṭaʾ shibh Al-Amd), such as when someone is killed with a whip, a stone, or a stick, the blood money (diyyah) is made more severe. It is one hundred camels, among which are forty pregnant camels between the second and fourth year, thirty mature she-camels (hiqqah), and thirty young she-camels (ibnat labun). For unintentional accidental killing (khaṭaʾ), the blood money is thirty mature she-camels (hiqqah), thirty young she-camels (ibnat labun), twenty one-year-old she-camels (ibnat makhaḍ), and twenty male young camels (ibn labun). The value of each camel in silver is one hundred and twenty dirhams or ten dinars. In sheep, the value of each camel is equivalent to twenty sheep."
5196 - وَ رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "فِي اَلْخَطَإِ شِبْهِ اَلْعَمْدِ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ بِالسَّوْطِ أَوْ بِالْحَجَرِ أَوْ بِالْعَصَا إِنَّ دِيَةَ ذَلِكَ تُغَلَّظُ وَ هِيَ مِائَةٌ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ فِيهَا أَرْبَعُونَ خَلِفَةً بَيْنَ ثَنِيَّةٍ إِلَى بَازِلِ عَامِهَا وَ ثَلاَثُونَ حِقَّةً وَ ثَلاَثُونَ اِبْنَةَ لَبُونٍ وَ اَلْخَطَأُ يَكُونُ فِيهِ ثَلاَثُونَ حِقَّةً وَ ثَلاَثُونَ اِبْنَةَ لَبُونٍ وَ عِشْرُونَ اِبْنَةَ مَخَاضٍ وَ عِشْرُونَ اِبْنَ لَبُونٍ ذَكَرٍ وَ قِيمَةُ كُلِّ بَعِيرٍ مِنَ اَلْوَرِقِ مِائَةٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ دِرْهَماً أَوْ عَشَرَةُ دَنَانِيرَ وَ مِنَ اَلْغَنَمِ قِيمَةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ عِشْرُونَ شَاةً".
